We detailed the laws relating to hagala<\/strong> of kelim<\/strong> in chapter 10. The operative principle is that the intensity of use dictates the intensity of absorption, but the custom, le-khat\u1e25ila<\/strong>, is to kasher everything by means of hagala<\/strong> in a kli<\/strong> rishon<\/strong> (10:6). Therefore, the custom is to kasher cutlery in a kli<\/strong> rishon<\/strong> on the flame even though they absorb principally from a kli<\/strong> sheni<\/strong>. Even if one sometimes uses a fork with something on the fire, since it would be damaged by libun<\/strong>, it may be kashered through hagala<\/strong>, in accordance with the majority of its usage (10:6-7).<\/p>\n Before kashering, one must clean the kelim<\/strong> (10:9). We have already learned how to do hagala <\/strong>in practice (10:11) and how to kasher a large pot that cannot fit into another kli <\/strong>(10:12).<\/p>\n Regarding a skillet<\/strong>, le-khat\u1e25ila<\/strong> it is kashered by means of light libun<\/strong>, but one who wishes to kasher it by means of hagala<\/strong> may do so (10:4). A skillet that is normally used without oil \u2013 to fry malawach, for example \u2013 must be kashered by means of heavy libun <\/strong>(4, n. 3). Non-stick or Teflon skillets<\/strong> cannot be kashered since they are intended for frying without using oil. This means that they must be kashered by means of heavy libun<\/strong>, but since this procedure would ruin them, they cannot be kashered.[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
